Emacs with debugging support is generally slow on my large Org file, but
I think that I managed to get some kind of backtrace with the default
value of long-line-threshold.

I typed C-z in GDB shell right after triggering the slow operation (it
is headline unfolding in my testing).

(I did confirm that setting long-line-threshold to nil makes the
unfolding instant)

The GDB log is below. Hope it gives some clues.
